Wood County Health District shares 2014 annual report
‘Ranked sixth best in the state of Ohio for health outcomes’
The Wood County Health
District (WCHD), located
1840 East Gypsy Lane,
Bowling Green, provides
numerous services to the
community, including medical services for uninsured
and underinsured men,
women and children.
The mission of the health
district is to take the initiative to facilitate opportunities for county residents to
lead healthy lives.
“The last year brought
many transitions for us at
WCHD, and it provided
many opportunities for
growth and positive changes
in our programs and services,” said Wood County
Health Commissioner Ben
Batey. “Through the receipt
of new federal funding, we
were able to complete a full
renovation of our community health and wellness center. This funding also has led
to an increase in staff and
health care services offered.
These are exciting times for
us in public health.”
The health district operates on revenues provided
mostly by its tax levy, government grants, contracts
and user fees.
“About two-thirds of our
expenses support the district’s greatest asset–the personnel who provide much
needed public health services to the residents of
Wood County,” said the
health commissioner.
The staff at the Wood County Health District is wearing blue in recognition of colorectal cancer awareness.

or health insurance status.
The center offers primary
care, prenatal care, senior

health, women’s health care,
men’s health care, immunizations, pediatrics and
STD/STI testing.

Twp. zoning commission approves
site plan for Sawyer Quarry Preserve
By Jane Maiolo
Plans for improvements to
the Sawyer Quarry Nature
Preserve in Perrysburg Township were approved by the
zoning commission at the
March 9 meeting.
“We’re pretty excited
about the project,” said Jeff
Myers of Mannik and Smith,
which performed the design
work.
Neil Munger, Wood County Park District director, said
there is a limit of 25 parking
spaces on the premise due to
deed restrictions, adding that
there will be minimal development to maintain the natural
setting.
Park officials are looking
at the possibility of moving
administrative offices from
Mercer Road, Bowling Green,
to the newer home built in the
1980s and overlooking the old
limestone quarry off Lime
City Road.
The 60-acre preserve also
features an old miner’s home
constructed in the early part of
the 20th century.
Mr. Myers said the new
entry drive leading into the park
will be widened to two lanes
that will accommodate emergency vehicles and school
buses.
He said there had been some
discussion on additional landscaping. “We talked it over and
came to the conclusion that
there is plenty of landscape
now,” Mr. Myers said, adding
that only a minimal number of
trees and foliage will be
removed as needed to accommodate the wider road.
“This will be a nice asset for
our county and particularly our
township,” said Rob Black,
president of the zoning commission.
Donated last year by the
Sawyer family, the nature preserve brings to 20 the number of
parks in the Wood County system.
Zoning Changes
Two zoning change
requests were approved by the
commission for parcels at
9677 Fremont Pike and 28747
Glenwood Road.
Bayer Park LLC, across
from the Target complex on
U.S. Route 20, submitted an
application to rezone 51.12
acres from A-1 agricultural
and R-6 manufactured home
park to C-2 community business.
Rob Shouhayib, speaking
on behalf of the applicant, said
Bayer Park is seeking the
change because the acreage is
better suited for commercial
development.
The second request was
submitted by FAE Glenwood
Properties for two parcels on
the west side of Glenwood
Road north of State Route
795. Rossford’s corporate limits abut the property’s west
side.
David Bruhl spoke for the
applicants, who requested the
4.842 acres be rezoned from
C-2 community business to I2 general industrial.
He said the owners plan to
operate a general contracting
business from the site and
would like to put up a sign
which is larger than currently
permitted by the zoning code.
Rather than seek a variance
for the signage, the owners
decided to request the zoning
change which is more compatible with the area.
Township zoning inspector/administrator Kelly Hemminger said the Wood County
Planning Commission recommended unanimously that
both zoning requests be
approved.
Other Business
In other business, the commission:
•Heard from Mrs. Hemminger that 15 zoning permits
were issued in January, collecting $1,778. In February 10
permits were issued totaling
$1,767.
•Learned that conversion
of paper zoning certificates to
digital format is now complete.
“Records from 1958 to
2014 have been successfully
scanned and preserved, allowing more flexibility in the
future and quick and convenient access to the records,”
said the zoning inspector.
•Announced that Walmart
on Route 20 submitted plans
for a $400,000 general interior/exterior remodel.
Exterior surfaces will be
painted and new signage
installed. “There will be no
structural alterations,” Ms.
Hemminger added.
•Reviewed a breakdown of
November election results for
the zoning initiative. Of the
2,280 registered voters, 626
voted in the general election
with 263 voting in favor of
zoning and 363 opposed.
•Heard from Mrs. Hemminger that she is working
with Eckel Trace subdivision
developers on a funding
method for the extension of
Carronade Drive. Midland
Agency of Northwest Ohio,
Inc., trustee, is listed as the
owner.

Park district commissioners updated on plans
for Sawyer Quarry Preserve
At the March 10 meeting,
the Wood County Park District
commissioners
reviewed plans for improvements to one of the newest
parks, Sawyer Quarry Preserve on Lime City Road in
Perrysburg Township.
Park director Neil
Munger said plans are “progressing very nicely,”
adding that the township
zoning commission approved the site plan at its
March 9 meeting.
“They were very positive
about the park and what is
going on.”
The work to be performed this year includes
widening the entry drive to
two lanes. Mr. Munger noted
that the township fire department reviewed the road’s
width to make sure first
responders could navigate
the road in an emergency. A
turnaround at the end of the
drive will be able to accommodate school buses for
field trips to the park.
In addition to the
entrance road, 25 parking
spaces will be installed with
spaces at both homes on the
property. A grass parking
area is included as an alternate in the plans.
Mr. Munger said the park
district is limited by terms of
the conservation easement
on the number of paved
parking spaces.
Plans also call for a sidewalk to connect two homes
on the 60-acre preserve
located north of U.S. Route
20.
Plans for the preserve call for widening the entry road and adding parking spaces
When asked what would
become of the stone
columns at the entrance to
the park, he said the
columns will be removed
but the stones will be preserved and reused.
A gate similar to those at
other county parks will be
installed near the entrance,
he added. There also are
plans to install a sign at the
park entrance.
The park director said
there was some question
regarding landscaping along
the drive, but after some discussion, it was determined
that no additional landscaping is needed.
“We are disrupting as little [natural area] as we can,”
Mr. Munger added.
In a related matter, he
said a public meeting will be
held at 7 p.m., Tuesday,
April 7, at W.W. Knight Preserve on White Road in Per-
rysburg Township to accept
public input on what area
residents would envision for
the park.
Other Business
In other business, the
commissioners:
•Approved the purchase
of a brush mower from VR
Power Equipment for
$3,830.
•Passed a resolution to
participate in the 2016-17
ODOT roadway funds. The
park district has received
funds in the past to repair
and resurface roads and lots
in its parks. In the last biennium budget, the district
received $58,829.
•Announced there will
be a grand opening celebration at Black Swamp Preserve, 1014 South Maple
Street, Bowling Green on
Earth Day, Wednesday, April
22, at 11:30 a.m.
•Heard from Virginia
Dean of Friends of the Wood
County Parks that the
friends are gearing up for
spring with activities including a monarch butterfly program and plant sale in May.
Mrs. Dean also said
membership in the organization is growing with close to
1,000 members. To become
a member, visit the website
at www.wcnet.org/~fwcp/.
•Reviewed plans for converting the house at Bradner
Preserve to an interpretive
center. The center will feature a large meeting room,
offices, window on wildlife
area, mudroom, greenhouse
and restrooms.
The next commissioners
meeting will be at 3 p.m.,
Tuesday, April 14, at J. C.

‘Finish the fight against breast cancer’
PHS senior Dan Waltermeyer, state wrestling ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer annual walk is May 9
Congratulations!
champion–first in 160 pound weight class
Perrysburg High School senior Dan Waltermeyer, center, captured a state
wrestling championship in the 160 pound weight class last weekend in Columbus.
Trailing 6-3 with less than a minute remaining in the match, Waltermeyer pinned
his opponent to earn the championship. The wrestler concludes his senior year
with a record of 46-8.
PHS junior Mario Guillen placed third in the 120 pound weight class at the
championships and his brother, sophomore Moises, placed third at 132 pounds.
The PHS wrestling team is under head coach Sam Cotterman.

This year, 8,710 women
in Ohio will be diagnosed
with breast cancer. And
232,670 women will be
diagnosed in the United
States.
“These are scary statistics to think about and
something must be done
about it,” said Lissa Guyton,
of WTVG13 ABC. “We are
making progress–we have
discovered behaviors that
can prevent breast cancer
and developed new treatments to beat it. As a result,
more women today are surviving breast cancer than
ever before. But, more
needs to be done to finish
the fight.”
Ms. Guyton was the
emcee for the March 14
kick-off breakfast for the
American Cancer Society’s
(ACS) Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer of
Northwest Ohio held at the
Hilton Garden Inn at Levis
Commons.
The annual 3.1-mile noncompetitive fund-raising
Strides walk will take place
at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May
9, at the Town Center at
Levis Commons.
Last year, more than
2,300 walkers joined the
Northwest Ohio Strides
event and raised more than
$118,000.
“This year, we need even
more walkers to join us to
help finish the fight,” said
Ms. Guyton, a member of
the Wood County ACS
board of directors. “We are
all here today for a reason.
Maybe you are here in
honor of a breast cancer survivor–the memory of their
journey still fresh in your
mind. Maybe you lost a
loved one to breast cancer
and you are walking in their
memory. Maybe the memories of your own breast cancer experience motivate
your efforts. Or maybe you
are here to make sure no one
ever has to hear the words,
‘you have breast cancer.’”
Money raised from
Strides events across the
country help fund a national
call center that answers
more than one million
requests annually for cancer
information. It allows free
lodging for cancer patients
traveling for treatment. Last
year alone, patients saved
$23.5 million in lodging
The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Northwest Ohio held its kick-off breakfast last Saturday. The annual 3.1-mile walk will be
held May 9, at the Town Center in Levis Commons.
Pictured from left, are Casey Pogen, Strides co-chair; Sara Shiels, 2015 honorary survivor, and Lissa Guyton, of WTVG13 ABC, who served as the emcee for
the breakfast.
costs through ACS’ Hope
Lodge program.
ACS’ Road to Recovery
program provided more than
380,000 rides last year to
cancer patients to or from
treatment, said Ms. Guyton,
adding that the program also
connected more than 72,000
women newly diagnosed
with breast cancer to a
breast cancer survivor.
“Many women battling
breast cancer are taking lifesaving drugs, such as Herceptin and Tamoxifen,
which were developed by
American Cancer Societyfunded researchers,” said
the board member. “We’ve
invested more than $84 million in breast cancer
research to date. In fact, just
this past year here in Ohio,
ACS funded 13 researchers
with more than $6 million in
funding toward breast cancer research. So we have our
advocacy work, groundbreaking research and free
comprehensive support.”
She noted that since
1989, breast cancer death
rates have declined by more
than 34 percent–more than
203,000 lives saved.
“I have been supporting
the American Cancer Society for many, many years. I
love supporting this organization, but I am also eager
to stop my support,” said
Ms. Guyton, who lost her
father to colon cancer when
she was 9 years old, and her
sister passed away in 2011
from breast cancer. “I know
that I speak on behalf of all
of you when I say that we
are ready to put the American Cancer Society out of
business and celebrate the
day when cancer becomes a
thing of the past and we finish the fight.
“We have talked a lot
today about the capability
each of you has to make a
difference in the fight to end
breast cancer. But the ‘what’
and the ‘how’ do not matter
much if we don’t remember
the ‘why.’”
The kick-off breakfast
honored many local breast
cancer survivors and recog-
nized sponsors for Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Sara Shiels, of Temperance, Michigan, was the
honorary survivor at the
breakfast.
“As a survivor, I know
we have inspiring, meaningful and truly important stories to share. Take the time
to hear those survivor stories–be inspired by them
and understand how much
impact it had on their life,”
said Ms. Shiels. “I am forever grateful for the wonderful
gift this journey has given
me. I have never felt more
loved, I have never felt
more support and I have
never felt so much positive
energy and kindness from
close friends and strangers
alike.”
The honorary survivor
said there are two reasons
she is pleased to be a part of
Strides and the American
Cancer Society–her mom
and giving back and supporting the community.

Jeff and Kevin Bucher of Citizen Advisory Group
Jane Weber, of Perrysburg, was the guest speaker
at a recent meeting of the
Fort Industry Chapter of the
DAR. Ms. Weber retired as
director of volunteer services
at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital, after 38
years of working in Ohio
psychiatric and developmental facilities.
She discussed her volunteer work since its inception
in 2005 as a member of the
Cemetery Reclamation Committee. The committee works
under the auspices of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the
University of Toledo and the
Ohio Department of Mental
Health.
The cemetery project
aims to honor those patients

special Heart’s Desire for
Eugenia “Jean” Fassold on
Friday, March 13. Her son,
daughter-in-law and special
friends gathered in the community room at The Commons to surprise her during
a luncheon to honor her.
Her favorite lunch of
shrimp, baked potato and
German chocolate cake was
prepared and served by Perrysburg Common’s Dietary
Department.
Ms. Fassold has been
making quilts and lap quilts
for many years for a variety
of organizations.
“We wanted to let her
know how much we appreciate everything she does for
people,” said Kelly Ebersbach, executive director.
Ms. Fassold, 95, spends
at least eight hours a day,
seven days a week sewing in
her apartment at Perrysburg
Commons. She has never
used a thimble, cutting
board or wheel. The bed in
her apartment serves as her
cutting space. Her methods
of sewing date back from
more than 80 years ago
when she, with help from
her mother, made her first
queen-sized quilt. She said
she enjoys the touch and
feel of fabrics and enjoys
creating the patterns in a
quilt.

System Program
•On January 1, 2015, the
first new uniform statewide
sewage rules became effective. These are the first uniform statewide rules that
have been adopted and the
first revision since first
adopted in 1977.
-The rules require a comprehensive operation and
maintenance program for all
systems in the county. This
program will be phased in
over several years.
-The rules do not mandate
automatic system upgrades,
and all existing systems will
be deemed approved unless
they fail or need replaced.
-The rules establish new
standards for system construction, alteration and
maintenance when a system
fails, is altered, replaced or
newly installed.
-System owners can request a timeline for incremental repair or replacement
of a system to spread costs
out over time.
-A wide range of design
choices and technologies for
new and replacement systems are available.
-Lower cost, low maintenance systems such as septic
tanks to leaching trenches
that use natural soil for treatment will continue to be the
primary system installed.
New technologies will be
available for use where soils
present greater challenges for
sewage treatment.
-The new rules combine
state standards with options
for local flexibility.
-Residents are currently
required by statute to tap into
a sanitary sewer once it becomes available, regardless
of the status or age of their
current system and this requirement will not change in
the new rules.
Housing and Demolition
Program
-In 2014, the health district partnered with the Wood
County Planning Commission utilizing more than
$600,000 from the Moving

for EMS responders. In 2015,
we expect to continue to

On February 29, 2012,
Ms. Shiels lost her mom to
breast cancer. And less than
two years later, on September 12, 2013, eight days before her 35th birthday, she
was diagnosed with breast
cancer.
“It seemed to come out
of nowhere,” she said. “I underwent two rounds of fertility treatment, followed by
chemotherapy and radiation.
The last 18 months truly
was
an
emotional
journey–lots of ups and
downs for sure. And my
mom was with me every
step of the way. Losing my
mom as well as progress for
all others battling cancer,
made my fight and recovery
that much more important to
me.”
This past September, in
celebration of her birthday
and her one-year cancer free
anniversary, Ms. Shiels held
a fund-raiser with family
and friends raising more
than $1,500 for ACS.
And then in December,
Ms. Shiels received some
extraordinary news–she was
expecting her first child.
“I never thought I’d have
children of my own,” said
the mother-to-be. “And I
want to be here for many,
many years to come. That is
why everything we do for
the American Cancer Society and Strides is so important. Let us form teams and
raise funds to advance research and put an end to this
fight. By coming together
and supporting this common
cause, we can really make a
difference–one stride at a
time.”
Co-chairwomen of the
Strides walk are Casey

physician and author Angelo Volandes, M.D., on
April 28, at 7 p.m., at Premier
Catering,
4480
Heatherdowns Boulevard,
Toledo.
The free, hour-long
community event will emphasize the importance of
having conversations about
a person’s wishes if he or
she were unable to speak
due to an illness or accident.
In his new book, “The
Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-ofLife Care,” Dr. Volandes
makes the case that the
most important tool in medicine is, in fact, the conversation
between
the
physician and patient. He
contends that if doctors ex-
plain options–including the
choice to forgo certain
medical interventions that
are often of little benefit to
patients with advanced illness–then patients can better understand their options
and set clear goals for how
they wish to spend the remainder of their lives.
Equally if not more important, it is critical that the
conversation is taken one
step further and shared with
family members who would
be called upon to make
medical decisions in the
event you could not speak
for yourself. While these
conversations are imperative near the end of life,
they are just as important
for younger people.
Dr. Volandes will discuss ways to empower indi-
viduals and their families to
advocate for an individual’s
wishes before a crisis occurs.
Dr. Volandes practices
internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston, and is on faculty
at Harvard Medical School.
He is co-founder and president of Advance Care Planning (ACP) Decisions, a
non-profit foundation implementing systems and
technologies to improve the
quality of care delivered to
patients in the healthcare
system.

Perrysburg resident among 26 indicted in conspiracy case
A Perrysburg resident is
among 26 people indicted for
his role in a conspiracy involving the shipment to the
Middle East of electronics allegedly stolen in Toledo and
Michigan between 2006 and
2015.
Saif Alkhatib, 23, an employee of Wireless Connection and Reynolds Quick
Stop was indicted in federal
court for his alleged role in a
wide-ranging conspiracy in
which stolen computers,
smartphones and other electronics were fenced at stores
in Toledo and resold in
Michigan and the Middle
East, law enforcement officials said.
According to the federal
indictment, some members of
the conspiracy used firearms,
threats and violence as part of
their operation. Others illegally cashed millions of dollars worth of checks at their
stores. Others sold counterfeit
clothing from their stores.
And members of the conspiracy worked together at
Toledo stores to launder
money.
The indictment was announced last week by Steven
Dettelbach, U.S. attorney for
the Northern District of Ohio;
Stephen Anthony, special
agent in charge of the FBI’s
Cleveland office; Toledo Police Chief George Kral; Lucas
County Sheriff John Tharp,
and Troy Stemen, assistant
special agent in charge, IRS
criminal
investigation,
Cincinnati.
“This is a sophisticated
crime and money-laundering
racket whose reach stretched
from Ann Arbor to Amman,
Jordan,” Mr. Dettelbach said.
Also indicted were residents of:
Maumee–Mamoun
Awwad, 43; Ayman Awwad,
42, and Aref Kahala, 23.
Toledo–Adnan Awad, 33;
Ihab Awad, 31; Anwar Awad,
39; Kamal Awwad, 40; Fady
Awwad, 34; Freddy Delatorre, 32; Jeffrey Houttekier,
24; Ahmed Abdulateeef, 47;
Ehab Adbdelsalam, 22; Timothy Fields, 32; Mayssam
Kaddoura, 36, and Jamal
Abdel Aziz, 44.
Michigan–Haney Sarsour,
36, Dearborn; Ameen Sarsour, 31, Dearborn; Michael
Safadi, 37, Westland; Fali
Abdallah, 34, Dearborn;
Mustafa Deebajah, 27, Dearborn, and Omar Dari, 54, Ann
Arbor.
Jordan–Essa Allawneh,
and Adli Alawneh, ages unknown, Amman.
Address unknown–Mutaz
Almumani, 29, and Fadi
Qasis, 30.
In the indictment Mamoun
Awwad, Adnan Awad, Ihab
Awad, Ayman Awwad,
Anwar Awad, Kamal Awwad,
Fady Awwad and Aref Kahala are listed as family members who own and operate
clothing stores, electronics
stores and grocery/convenience stores in Toledo.
It alleges that the businesses were used to facilitate
criminal schemes, including
the sale of counterfeit goods,
trafficking stolen goods and
unlawfully cashing checks,
according to the indictment.
The Awwad family enterprise bought stolen electronics, such as iPhones, iPads
and Samsung cellular phones
from drug addicts and low-income people, then altered the
electronics’ hardware and
software so they could be registered on cellular networks,
the indictment reads.
The Awwad family enterprise then allegedly sold the
stolen electronics locally, in
Michigan and overseas.
Mamoun Awwad did this, in
part, by meeting with crew
members of Royal Jordanian
Airlines in Detroit to have
them transport electronics
and cash, according to the indictment.
The goal of the conspiracy
was to generate cash and send
it overseas to establish a series of residences in Rammoun, Palestine, for members
of the Awwad family enterprise and their families, the
indictment alleges.
The family unlawfully
cashed checks at the
Reynolds Quick Stop and
other grocery/convenience
stores as a way to generate
revenue and launder proceeds
from the sale of counterfeit
and stolen goods. The family
cashed more than $11 million
in checks at store locations
between 2011 and 2014, according to the indictment.
The family also knowingly sold shoes, sweat suits,
T-shirts and other clothing
bearing counterfeit logos and
trademarks of brands includ-
ing Nike, Timberland, Coogi,
Ralph Lauren, RoccaWear,
Ecko, Lacoste, Dolce Gabbana and others, the indictment states.
The Awwad family enterprise also allegedly used violence to maintain control of
the stolen goods market in
Toledo.
“The Awwad criminal enterprise used force and intimidation to control their
complex network of illegal
schemes all in an effort to line
their bank accounts with millions,” Special Agent Anthony said. “We are pleased
the strength of our long standing local, state, and federal
law enforcement partnerships
has successfully dismantled a
pervasive criminal enterprise
that has plagued the citizens
of Toledo and Lucas County
for more than a decade. “
“I think an operation such
as this shows how well local
law enforcement works with
the federal government,” Police Chief Kral added. “The
citizens of the City of Toledo
are much safer thanks to this
multidisciplinary approach to
policing.”
“The 26 individuals indicted went to great lengths to
create the illusion of a successful family enterprise,”
Special Agent Stemen said.
“This massive federal indictment has exposed these individuals for who they really
are–thugs and thieves.”
The case is being prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys Duncan Brown and
Michael Freeman.
Motorists reminded to use headlights during foggy weather
Motorists are reminded
that as the weather warms,
foggy conditions can become
more prevalent, making the
need to use headlights imperative.
Wood County Sheriff
Mark Wasylyshyn said fog is
one of the most dangerous
weather hazards, especially
dense fog or when combined
with other adverse weather.
“Foggy conditions are the
number one cause of large
multi-car pile ups,” he
added.
He advises drivers to use
their headlights. “Daytime
running lights are not enough
as they do not illuminate tail
lights. Driving with your
headlights on in fog is not
necessarily for you to see
better, but for you to be
seen,” he explained.
Automatic headlights do
not turn the full lights on, he
continued. “You must manually turn on the headlights.
You essentially become a
ghost car when you don’t
have headlights on.”
He cautioned against
using high beams during
foggy conditions. “High
beam headlights reflect off
the water vapor and actually
decrease visibility,” the sher-
iff said.
“While drivers may believe low beams have the
same effect, it is important to
keep them on so other drivers can see your vehicle.”
Sheriff Wasylyshyn also
reminds drivers to maintain a
safe following distance in
fog. “Most drivers tend to
bunch up because they feel
it’s easier to see. That’s one
of the big reasons massive
pile ups occur.”
If the fog becomes too
dense, motorists should find
a place to park and wait for
conditions to improve.
“Pull into a driveway,
parking lot, rest area, side
street or any place where you
can get away from heavy
traffic,” he said.
“If the roadway shoulder
is your only option, pull way
over. Go into the grass if necessary. If there’s a curb, drive
over it and park. Stay buckled and turn your lights off
since people may think you
are driving on the roadway
and rear-end you.”
The sheriff also reminds
drivers that using headlights
in fog and rainy conditions is
required by state law, and
anyone not using their lights
could be issued a citation.
Suggestions for avoiding identity theft offered
Our neighbor is dealing
with a case of identity theft.
It’s been a nightmare for
him. What can we do to protect ourselves?
Identity theft is running
rampant, and it can take
many forms. According to
the U.S. Department of Justice, 16.6 million people experienced identity theft in
2012.
Plus, a recent report by
the Identity Theft Resource
Center revealed that more
than 85 million records were
compromised in 783 data
breaches during 2014, putting many people’s information at risk. And the Federal
Trade Commission recently
reported that tax-related
identity theft complaints
made a big jump in 2014, accounting for almost one-third
of the nearly 333,000 identity theft complaints it received.
Identity thieves have numerous tricks up their
sleeves. Once they have your
personal information, they
can take money from your
bank account, use your credit
card information to make
purchases, file a tax return
and get your refund, and
open new accounts in your
name that you never know
about until creditors start
hounding you.
Thieves can get your personal information in many
ways, from hacking into
computerized records to rifling through your trash or
recycled paper to find sensitive information.
You can take steps to reduce your risk, including:
• Protect your personal information as much as possible. Shred statements with
account numbers on them
and change online credit and
bank account passwords
every three to six months.
Limit what you carry in your
wallet to only the credit or
debit cards you need. Leave
your Social Security card at
home in a secure place. If
you have a Medicare card,
carry it with you only when
you need to use it.
•Review your credit re-
ports regularly. By law, you
can get a free credit report
from each of the three credit
reporting companies —
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—every year. The
companies don’t always
have the same information,
so get reports from each.
Some experts advise setting
up a schedule to get one free
report every four months.
You can get free reports by
calling 877-322-8228 or
going to annualcreditreport.
com. Once you get your report, check it to make sure it
lists only accounts that you
have opened. Take immediate steps to correct any errors
you find.
• You may want to consider requesting a credit
freeze. This will help prevent
anyone from opening a new
account with your information. You will need to lift the
freeze if you ever want to
open a new credit account or
allow a lender or other business to review your credit report, and that may also cost a
fee. But the inconveniences
could be worth your peace of
mind.

how to protect yourself, as
well as what to do if you become a victim of identity
theft, see the FTC’s publication, “Taking Charge: What
To Do If Your Identity is
Stolen,”

Solid waste district sets
recycling cancellation policy
Due to inclement weather
this winter, the Wood County
Solid Waste Management
District has established a policy that addresses cancellations.
At the March 4 meeting,
recreation director Bob Warnimont informed the Perrysburg Township trustees of the
changes.
According to the policy,
the district in cooperation
with the Bowling Green Recycling Center will only cancel satellite recycling when a
weather emergency has been
declared by the sheriff which
inhibits the delivery of the applicable cargo trailers.
If this occurs, respective
volunteer groups and political
subdivisions will be notified
as well as news outlets.
At the discretion of the
solid waste district, individual
satellite locations and respective volunteer groups may
cancel collection as they see
fit. The cancellations must be
made no later than 3 p.m. on
the Wednesday before the
regularly scheduled collection.
Cancellations must be approved by the district prior to
any public notice being given.
If a cancellation is made
after the deadline which results in unwarranted delivery
of cargo trailers, the district
may withhold a portion of
the subside to cover the cost
of placement of unused trailers.
“The intent in doing this is
not to prohibit groups from
cancelling service when they
feel that doing so must be
done, but rater to ensure that
when this occurs, proper
communication takes place to
inform the public,” said
Joseph Fawcett, assistant
county administrator.
“This is also to ensure that
the recycling center is notified in advance if they service
the satellite location,” he
added.

New group for mothers offered
Perrysburg First is starting
a new mom’s ministry.
“Where Moms Connect” is a
faith-based approach to
motherhood and finding the
support and encouragement
that can come through meeting with other moms. Each
session helps women connect
with each other, with a topic,
and with God, without homework.
The study to be used is
called “A Year of Encouragement.” At each gathering
mothers will be encouraged
and will hear about God’s
perspectives from the Bible.
An informational and organizational meeting will be
held on Thursday, March 19,
at 7 p.m., in the multi-purpose room of the church located at 200 West Second
Street on the corner of Walnut. At this meeting, the materials to be used will be

To sign-up, visit the website at www.bittersweet
farms.org/csa.
Bittersweet’s CSA provides employment opportunities for individuals with autism
who live and work on the
farm. As part of the work of
the CSA, the participants are
able to engage in agriculturerelated activities such as
readying the soil, planting the
seeds, harvesting the crops,
cleaning the produce, and
packaging produce in the CSA
boxes. This program also allows the individuals with
autism who work at Bittersweet to engage with and contribute to the local community.
Bittersweet Farms is now
accepting memberships for the
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. CSA
is a mutual partnership of
shared risk between local
farmers and the community.
Members buy shares of the
harvest, and, in turn, the
farmer is able to cover the initial costs of the growing season.
The members then receive
wholesome, fresh, nutrientrich, local produce, along with
a personal relationship with
the farmer.
Examples of summer produce include: broccoli, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant,
onions, tomatoes, potatoes,
squash, zucchini, kale, melons,
corn, blueberries, and peaches.
Two types of shares will be
offered this year. The standard
share is $275 per season, and
the petite share is $180 per
season.

‘We have to remember Hilda Bentley and what she has done’
Historic Perrysburg seeking nominations for the Bentley Historic Preservation Award
Historic Perrysburg, Inc.
(HPI) is seeking nominations
for its annual Bentley Historic
Preservation Award.
The purpose of the award is
to increase awareness of Perrysburg’s heritage by recognizing individuals, organizations, businesses and
agencies whose contributions
demonstrate outstanding commitment to excellence in historic preservation, local history
or promotion of the heritage of
the community.
In addition to public and
private buildings and structures, historic preservation
projects may include media,
publications, presentations and
exhibits, parks, burial grounds,
public art, oral history, theater
productions, events and video
presentations.
This is the fifth year Historic Perrysburg will present
the Bentley Award. The inaugural award was presented to
Welch Publishing in 2011.
Subsequent awards were presented to WGTE “Toledo Stories” series, to local historian
C. Robert Boyd Sr. and to Rev.
Monsignor Marvin Borger.
This award was established
by HPI after discovering what
Hilda Bentley and her family
did for historic preservation
not only in Perrysburg and
neighboring communities, but
also statewide and nationwide.
The late Mrs. Bentley was
known as a historic preservationist. She worked for
decades to preserve historical
architecture and sites in the
Maumee River Valley and
around the country.
The Perrysburg resident
was a member of the National
Trust for Historic Preservation
and served as an advisor for
the National Trust of Ohio for
two terms. She also served on
the study committee for goals
and preparations for the trust in
Washington, D.C. In 1991,
Mrs. Bentley was named advisor emeritus for the National
Trust.
She was a member of the
Ohio Historical Society,
served on the state Preservation Advisory Board and on
the board of trustees on the
Ohio Historical Society, and
chaired the Historic Preservation Committee Board. Mrs.
Bentley was given the Ohio
Preservation Award in 1986
for her efforts in the Maumee
Valley
and
throughout
the state.
The preservationist was on
the Maumee Valley Historical
Society board of trustees and
was a founding member of the
society’s landmarks committee. Her conservation interest
spear-headed the surveys of
downtown Toledo, Perrysburg
and Maumee. She worked to
have these areas placed on the
National Register of Historic
Places.
Mrs. Bentley was a founding member of the Citizens
Committee for Fort Meigs in
1965 and was instrumental in
the fort’s preservation and reconstruction. From 1971 to
1976, she worked on the research of the Heising Mill
(Ludwig Mill) in Grand
Rapids, which resulted in the
placement of the site on the
National Register in 1974. She
also was a founding member
of the Citizens Committee for
Ludwig Mill for the Toledo
Metropolitan Parks.
In 1973, she assisted in the
establishment of the Friends
of the Maumee River, an
action group which worked
toward designation of the
river as a State Scenic and
Recreational River.
She was a long-time member of the Country Garden
Club which is affiliated with
the Garden Club of America
(GCA). She served as a national officer of the senior club
and in 1970 received the Zone
X conservation award for Historic Preservation.
She also served as chairman of the National Committee to Preserve the Redwoods
and was instrumental in enlarging the size of the GCA to
be one of the largest in the
country.
As her interest in preservation grew, she became a member of the National Society of
the Colonial Dames of America–the foremost conserver of
historic properties in the country.
Mrs. Bentley died at the
age of 95 on April 5, 1997.
Nominations for the Bentley Historic Preservation
Award will be evaluated on the
basis of one or more of the following:
•Active involvement and or
contribution to the preservation of/or the promotion of
northwest Ohio history.
•Initiative in pursuing
preservation activities that are
not required by law and which
do not reflect the organization’s mandate.
•A completed nomination
form.
•A typed statement describing the project or activity for
which the organization, individual, business and/or agency
being nominated and its impact on the community and
overall contribution to the
area’s history and preservation.
•Nominations should include copies of any related
publications and photos.
•Also to be included are
any news clippings or other
supplementary data.
Historic Perrysburg will
present the Bentley Historic
Preservation Award at its an-
nual dinner in May.
HPI was founded in 1977
to “cultivate an interest and
awareness of the history and
architecture of the Perrysburg
area...and to provide assistance
in the preservation of old
buildings and sites.”
HPI board of directors include Larry Karnes, president;
Dave Kleeberger, first vice
president; Jon Orser, secretary;
Joe Klein, treasurer; Michael
Barthold, Helen Haas, Jim
Wright, Lloyd Swanson, Rick
Thielen, Todd DeBruin,

The eighth annual fiber577 art show June 6 and 7
The fiber577 committee
recently announced the
dates for the eighth annual
fiber577 art show–June 6
and 7.
The event will take
place at the 577 Foundation, former estate of Virginia Secor Stranahan, 577
East Front Street, Perrysburg.
The juried show takes
place in the 577 house and
features a variety of fiber
art pieces including art
quilts, felting, mixed media
and sculpture.
The entire grounds feature fiber-related activities,
demonstrators as well as a
non-juried fiber show.
Last year more than
1,200 people visited the
show.
The history of the show
began with a transition
from the “Art Dabbler Fair”
sponsored by the former
Perrysburg Area Arts Council into a show that focuses
on fiber. This was in large
part to honor the love of
both arts and the fiber arts
by the 577 Foundation
founder, Virginia Secor
Stranahan, as well as a
group of dedicated volunteers who kept the idea of
an annual art show at 577
alive.
One of those members,
Frances Parry, Mrs. Stranahan’s granddaughter, was
instrumental in the transition from art dabblers to
arts with the concentration
on the fiber field.
“My love for fiber arts is
something I shared with my
grandmother” said Ms.
Parry. “She always had a
knitting project going and I
know she would be thrilled
to see her home come alive
each June with the works of
so many talented textile
artists.”
Ms. Parry also believes
that if alive today, her
grandmother would “enjoy
mingling with each of these
artists.”
“The range of work that
the fiber577 art show attracts would very much appeal to her creative and
curious nature. Her legacy
is very much alive through
this show,” she added.
Visitors to the show will
experience a delight of the
senses as they walk through
the 577 house viewing a
show that attracts artists
from around the country.
As guests enter, they are
greeted by a fiber sculpture
of a sweet lady knitting, affectionately referred to as
“Virginia” by many. It was
created by Michigan fiber
artist Lynn Spitz-Nagel.
As guests leave the
house they can discover
fiber “bombs” throughout
the grounds, music, a pottery sale and visit with fiber
related animals.
The juried exhibition
portion of the show is open
to all artists working in the
fiber or fiber-influenced
media.
This show is free and
open to the public.
Sponsors include Angelwood Gallery, Entelco,
Garden Smiles, Kingston
Health Care, Natural Fiber
& Yarn, Principle Business
Enterprises, Taylor Cadillac, The Andersons, Toledo
City Paper, Welch Publishing and WGTE.
For additional information visit the website at
www.fiber577.com or follow fiber577 on Facebook.
Call for Entries
The fiber577 committee
is now seeking entries for
show.
The fiber577 exhibition
continues its mission to
bring the most relevant regional and national artists
working in fiber and fiberrelated mixed media, from
exquisitely crafted traditional to cutting edge experimental.
Fiber based work includes felting, art quilts,
weaving, wearable, collage,
mixed media, assemblage,
sculpture and textiles.
Participating artists will
be eligible for monetary
awards including Best of
Show, first through third
places, and the People’s
Choice Award.
For the fourth year, at
the conclusion of the weekend, artists will have the
opportunity to participate
in
Fabulous
Fibers
2015–June 14 through July
19–at Angelwood Gallery
in Grand Rapids, Ohio.
This year’s judge is acclaimed fiber artist Brooks
Harris Stevens, an associate
professor of fibers at Eastern Michigan University.
Her formal training
began at the Savannah College of Art and Design and
continued with graduate
work at the School of Art
and Design at East Carolina
University.
Ms. Stevens creates interdisciplinary works of art
that are deeply rooted in the
history of textiles. Her current research focuses on
various cultural observations of rituals worldwide.
The associate professor
has shown her work extensively nationally and internationally with solo shows
in Paris, France, Prizerine,
Kosovo, Vancouver, Washington, as well as Ann
Arbor, Michigan.
Currently, she is preparing work for upcoming solo
and group exhibitions in
Tirana, Albania, Atlanta,
Georgia, and Bloomington,
Indiana.
Artists may submit up to
three pieces per $16 entry
fee (non-refundable).
Application deadline is
April 17. To enter the show,

married Toledo industrialist
Duane Stranahan Sr., the retired vice president of Champion Spark Plug Co.
She was surrounded by
financial well-being and by
the family’s strong social
and civic role in the city’s
development.
Mrs. Stranahan was an
accomplished sportswoman,
expert skier, fly fisherwoman and amateur golfer.
She traveled extensively,
often seeking out remote
destinations of particular geographic or ecological interest.
She continued her parents’ legacy of enlightened
community service, responding to the challenges of each

agencies in northwest Ohio
which did not at some point
benefit from her incisive,
highly practical observations. She volunteered as a
nurse’s aide during the
World War II days and
served on many community
boards.
Mrs. Stranahan was particularly keen on helping individuals achieve their
highest potential through ed-
ucation and experience. So
many people were able to
move their lives ahead because of her support, both financial and spiritual. She
always trusted people’s instincts about what they
thought was important in
their own lives.
Mrs. Stranahan, who
passed away in 1997,
founded the 577 Foundation–a lasting gift to Perrysburg.
Guest speaker at the tea
will be Clint Mauk, a Perrysburg native who grew up
with the Stranahan children
and was a friend of Mrs.
Stranahan.
Mr. Mauk, a third generation native of the Toledo
area, has a great interest in
the history of Perrysburg,
Toledo and northwest Ohio.
His book, “Historic Tales of
Toledo” has raised more than
$150,000 for the Toledo Rotary Foundation. He has
given more than 600 talks
and lectures as an historical
story-teller.
Mr. Mauk is a past president of Historic Perrysburg
and currently serves on the
board of the 577 Foundation.
The speaker will share
stories of growing up with
the Stranahan children.
The cost for the tea is $25
per person and reservations
are due by March 21.
For reservations, send a
check, made payable to Historic Perrysburg, Inc., to P.O.
Box 703, Perrysburg, Ohio

Following the tea, guests
are invited on a tour of the

was a huge year for these
owls which appeared in
amazing numbers across the
Great Lakes states, Northeastern United States, Atlantic Coast, and southern
Canada.
GBBC reports for 2015
also show a surge in Snowy
Owl sightings across the
same range, though the frequency of reports is about
half of last winter’s. This is a
well-known phenomenon
with Snowy Owls, with the
year after a very large invasion often being referred to
as an “echo flight.”
Winter finches–such as
Evening Grosbeaks, Pine
Siskins, redpolls, and crossbills–are popular among
GBBC participants. These

For those who did brave
the cold, the GBBC data will
help to better understand the
impact of the cold on birds
and bird populations. For example, scientists will be able
to compare the abundance of
some so-called “half-hardy”
species, such as Carolina
Wren and Yellow-rumped
Warbler, to see if this cold
winter has affected their populations.
Snowy Owls are one of
the most charismatic and emblematic birds of winter.
They breed in Arctic regions
worldwide and drop south in
some winters (“irrupt”), depending on food supplies and
their breeding success in the
previous summer.

their usual haunts depending
on food supplies, so their
numbers in a given region
may change widely from
year to year.
2015 was a banner year
for Pine Siskins which are reported on 10.5 percent of
GBBC checklists so far.
Compare that to 1.2 percent
of checklists in 2014 when
most siskins stayed far north
in Canada. Siskins will likely
be hanging around through
April and May, especially if
the feeders are stocked with
their favorite nyjer (thistle)
seed.
Surprisingly, a Eurasian
species, the Brambling, appears on the Top 10 list of
most reported species for the
first time ever. Since November, some of these birds have
been spotted on the West
Coast and others strayed
even farther by turning up in
Montana, Wyoming and Ontario, with one 2015 GBBC
record in North America
from Washington state.
But the Brambling’s appearance among the Top 10
can be traced to one checklist
from Germany reporting a
flock estimated at one million birds. Up to three million Bramblings have been
known to gather at that site.
In Wood County, 42
checklists were submitted,
with 43 different species
sited. The top bird sightings

Participants from more
than 100 countries submitted
a record 147, 265 bird checklists for the annual Great
Backyard Bird Count and
broke the previous count
record for the number of
species identified.
The 5,090 species reported represents nearly half
the possible bird species in
the world.
The four-day count was
held February 13-16, the
18th year for the event which
is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and
the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies
Canada.
The information gathered
by tens of thousands of volunteers helps track the health
of bird populations at a scale
made possible by using the
eBird online checklist program.
GBBC participants even
reported two species, Millpo
Tapaculo and Santa Marta
Screech-Owl that have not
yet been described in the official scientific literature.
The bitter cold, snowy
weather in much of the
northeastern United States
and much of Canada was a
major factor in this year's
count. In much of the Northeast, Sunday was particularly
frigid and windy, and the
number of reports showed an
obvious dip as some counters
were forced indoors. As one
participant in Quebec noted,
watching birds came with a
price as wind chill temperatures rarely topped zero de-

a.m.
N All brush must be placed at the curb, not in the alley.
N Pile brush parallel with street.
N Do not tie into bundles—stack loosely.
N Place small clippings and twigs in personal garbage
cans so they can be easily dumped (not in Toters).
N City crews will take branches, bushes, logs, stumps,
firewood and Christmas trees.
N Crews will begin on the west side of town this year
and work their way east.
N Once crews have been down your street, they will not
return. A supervisor will check daily to make sure all
brush piles were picked up.
AVOID:
N Brush pick up is not a yard waste or large item pick
up. Please do not place anything but brush to the
curb. Information on yard waste or large item pick up
is available by calling the Department of Public Service at 419-872-8020, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. or check the city website at www.ci.

N Metal, stones and other debris may damage equipment or injure workers.
WOOD MULCH:
N An area on the outside of the locked gate at the City
Compost Site near the Wastewater Treatment Plant at
1 West Boundary Street has wood mulch that is available at no charge to City residents throughout the

Friends of Ohio Barns to hold conference
The Friends of Ohio Barns
will hold their 16th annual
“Ohio Barn Conference” In
Hancock County April 24-25.
Friday is an all-day bus
tour, including lunch, and visits to several century barns,
including the Bright-Hoy
Barn, which was built in 1854
and features strong German
influence. Coffee will be
served in the Ropp-Metzger
Barn, built in 1833 and preserved by fourth generation
family member, Mark Metzger, who will talk about his
barns and how he is preserving them for future generations.
Other barns include some
being restored for farming
purposes. A couple of the
properties have farm houses
that we will be able to explore
as well.
The final stop is the
Basinger Barn which holds
many surprises, including
several owl holes.
Saturday’s barn conference also includes lunch and
will feature local historians,
guest speakers, and a good
dose of barn lore.
Saturday’s conference will
be a day filled with presentations. David Fey, director of
the Fairfield County Historic
Parks, will be the keynote
speaker this year. He will
speak about preservation
methods and how they are

Toledo’s Imagination Station hosting ‘Guitar’ exhibit through May 17
Imagination Station in
Toledo is hosting “Guitar:
The Instrument That Rocked
The World” through May
17. Visitors can discover the
science and history behind
the instrument that revolutionized music. Play the
world’s largest guitar, see
more than 60 instruments
ranging from the rare and
antique to the wildly popular
and investigate how different materials affect a guitar’s sound.
This exhibition explores
all facets of the world’s most
popular instrument–from its
evolution into an instrument
of popular culture to the science of creating sound with
wood and steel.
Interact with the guitar
through hands-on interactives, performance video,
audio and stunning images.
The exhibition is composed of three elements: the
science of sound; the evolu-

tion, engineering and design
of the guitar, and the guitar’s
cultural impact.
“The science of sound is
a rich area for scientific discovery. Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked The
World uses an instrument
that most people are familiar
with to explore some fascinating science concepts. ”
said Carl Nelson, chief scientist for Imagination Station. “Sound impacts our
lives on a near-constant
basis, but many people
never think about how sound
is created and transmitted.”
“The guitar is the most
enduring icon in American
history,” according to HP
Newquist, the executive director and founder of The
National Guitar Museum.
“It has been around
longer than baseball, basketball, soft drinks and sports
cars.
This exhibition is a celebration of all that and more.
It’s hard to find anyone who
hasn’t been affected by the
guitar, whether as players or
as fans of music ranging
from country and folk to
jazz and rock.
And it may be apocryphal, but it’s said that the
two most recognizable manmade shapes on the planet
are the Coke bottle and the
electric guitar.”

PETS OF THE WEEK
If we gave out a Sleepyhead Award at the
shelter, then Ervin would certainly be the
recipient! This guy just loves to nap, nap,
and nap some more. But that shouldn’t be
too much of a surprise since this handsome
tuxedo and tabby fella is about 10 years old.
When Ervin is not napping, he is pretty
even keel in personality. He gets along very
well with other cats and he seems to just
want to hang out, relax, and enjoy his golden years. Ervin is part
of our March Madness promotion (just like the rest of the cats currently in our care), so his adoption fee is only $4. Do you have
some comfy places around your home where Ervin could catch
some “zzz”s? Then stop by the shelter and meet him today!
Trilla is a special little lady. She
came to us without her left hind leg,
but no worries. That missing leg
doesn’t slow this boxer/terrier mix
down one bit. In fact, Trilla is especially fond of taking long walks, so
she is looking for an equally active
human with a strong sense of adventure. Trillia is sweet-tempered and
very affectionate. She also is a bit of
a diva: Trilla enjoys being pampered
and receiving extra love, attention,
and, of course, treats. We recently introduced Trilla to a play group
(of dogs), and she does quite well with them. However, she doesn't
get along with all dogs, and plays best with “easy going” dogs.
Does Trilla sound like the perfect addition to your family? Then
come out to the shelter and meet her today!
*All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention
in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a
14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped
prior to adoption.
Bring this advertisement to the shelter when you come to adopt
one of our featured animals and receive $10 off the animal’s regular adoption price (not combined with any other specials) with an
approved application.
Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339
to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can
be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Penta CBI students research job opportunities at career fair
From left are Jodie Watson of CSX, Austin Fargo, a Perrysburg High School senior, and
Esten Hartman of CSX.
For seniors who may not
be thinking about entering
college this fall, there are numerous career opportunities
available in northwest Ohio.
On March 6, students enrolled in the career based intervention (CBI) programs at
Penta Career Center learned
about job opportunities during a career fair at Cedar
Creek Church in Perrysburg
Township.
The event featured 18 area
employers including CSX,
Dynamic Dies, the Andersons, Meijer, Thayer FordNissan,
Wendy’s
Corporation, Ironworkers
Local 55, Laborers Local 574
and Bergquist, Inc.
Representatives from the
U.S. military, Penta Adult and
Continuing Education and
MIAT (Michigan Institute of
Aviation and Technology)
also were on hand.
“This is an opportunity for
our students to talk with em-
ployers and educational institutions as they prepare for life
after high school,” said John
Chaney, supervisor of CBI
programs. “This will help
students make employment
connections and build confidence.”
During the fair, students
participated in workshops
presented by area apprenticeship programs, employers
and post-secondary institutions.
Brad Mich and Steve
Stewart spoke on the apprenticeship program available
through Ironworkers Local
55.
“We are a five-year program,” explained Mr. Stewart, adding that those enrolled
earn money during the day on
the job and attend school a
few evenings each week.
Students learn all aspects
of HVAC systems, pipefitting
and electrical. The students
construct pipes that carry
steam, air, compressed air,
argon, nitrogen or “anything
that can go through a pipe,”
he said.
Mr. Mich noted that much
of the work pipefitters do entails preventive maintenance.
“We have many maintenancetype contracts, and we do a
lot of emergency calls,” he
said.
“It’s really a neat field.
There’s a lot of learning
about how a building works,”
he added.
When asked about pay
rates, he said the starting
wage is $15 per hour with
most workers topping out at
$38.30 per hour.
Mr. Stewart pointed out
that the cost for the apprenticeship training program is
minimal since everyone in
Local 55 contributes a portion of their paycheck to the
school.
Mr. Mich said that in addition to the pay, the benefits
are “great,” and include
health care and a fringe package.
Mr. Stewart believes the
program sets students on a
career path. “It’s a very good
career. You can make good
money and raise a family,” he
added.
The two noted that safety
is a top priority with workers
receiving annual OSHA
training, drug screening and
other training as the field
warrants.
They encouraged students
to apply at their Northwood
facility. “We only take 40 students per year, and the program hasn’t filled up,” said
Mr. Stewart.
He suggested that any interested students “come
dressed to succeed. Look like
you want the job.”
Jodie Watson and Esten
Hartman of CSX spoke about
career opportunities available
at the CSX intermodal complex in North Baltimore.
Their presentation began
with a video of trains entering
the facility and cranes loading and unloading freight.
Ms. Watson said the intermodal was constructed four
years ago and is undergoing
expansion. “We started with
five train (lines), and we’re
now up to seven. “
She noted that the work
seen on the video was per-
formed by intermodal service
workers.
Training is done on-site
while working with a mentor,
she explained.
Employees begin by operating a crane simulator and
move to the rail yard after
completion of training.
They will work with mentors as teammates until they
are ready to perform the tasks
on their own, she said.
“The goal in training is to
move 12 to 15 (cargo) units in
an hour. We have guys doing
40,” she added.
Pay is $21.06 per hour
with full benefits and a railroad retirement package after
30 years of employment, Ms.
Watson said.
Currently CSX employs
350 people at the complex
which operates three shifts–7
a.m. to 3 p.m., 3 to 11 p.m.,
and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
In addition to crane operators, there are positions available in other areas. She
encouraged interested candidates to visit the website at
csx.com and clicking on the
link “Working at CSX.”
Following the presentations, students were invited to
the lobby where they spoke
with representatives about
career and educational options and had the opportunity
to complete applications.

Perrysburg Women’s Softball League announces changes
The Perrysburg Women’s
Softball League is getting
ready for the 2015 summer
season and changes are coming with it.
One of the most important
changes has come after much
discussion with PABSC in the
scheduling of fields this year.
Since PWSL was unable to
secure a lighted field, games
will be played on field numbers 2 and 5 at Municipal
Park at 5:30 and 7 p.m. instead of the traditional 5:30
and 8:30 p.m. schedule. The
10-game schedule will start
on May 3.
The other change this year
is in the appointment of a new
commissioner. The league is
overseen by three commissioners who serve for three
years each. Jen Garringer is
serving her third year and
Amy Allan is in her second
year. Erica Parish was welcomed as the newest commissioner at the captain’s
meeting on March 2.
PWSL is a recreational
slow-pitch league made up of
A team in the PWSL from last season.
mostly Perrysburg City and
Township residents. A fee of
$30 covers the rental of the
fields, umpire fees, purchase
of balls, scorebooks and in-
surance for the league.
The league is comprised
of six teams and welcomes
new players, over the age of
23, regardless of previous
softball experience. For more
information, send an email to

Humane Society holding
March Madness adoption event to hold spring volunteer training
The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) is
getting in the spirit of spring
by hosting a March Madness
adoption event this month.
The event, which officially kicks off on Wednesday, March 11, will offer
reduced adoption prices for
select featured animals in an
attempt to place as many
current shelter residents as
possible in their forever
homes.
The WCHS March Madness adoption event is patterned on the annual
National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Men's
Division I Basketball Tournament, which was created
in 1939 by the National Association of Basketball
Coaches. Like its namesake,
